    Anyone fed a watermaker from the dockside water? Was looking at spotless systems, but started thinking maybe could just use watermaker and use water from boat tank (200 gallons) to wash. Our dockwater is actually well water and we dont often use our FCI Aquamiser 600gpd watermaker as we are in brackish water on the Chesapeake.

    Tried connecting dockside hose to Groco flush cap on strainer but seems like dockside water pressure is too high even when turn down and watermaker not priming properly. Tried asking FCI but just wanted to sell add on DTS system. Thx
